Bad, bad me Im so far behind with all my blog posts!
Last year we finally made it to Sculpture by the Sea, two years right by Bondi and we'd never been before!  My favourite sculptures were the steel camel complete with its own sewing machine by Suzie Bleach & Andy Townsend, and a beautiful wave made from eucalyptus sticks by Peter Collins. But of course I have to love the steel French Bulldog sculptures by Geoff Harvey standing on sentry duty along the coastal path.

Sticking with my new years resolution to do one artwork a week (well at least work on one, make a start each week) here is 'tree cathedral'. The creative monsoon etsy shop is back up and running too.

Today we headed down south to check out Sharky's, a proper dog friendly beach in Coledale just over an hour out of Sydney. I read there was a lot of contention around making this a off leash beach but when we arrived I was a little surprised to see Sharky's has two other lovely beaches either side for our human friends. We drove all the way from Sydney as I'm sure others do, and we'll certainly be going back. I really hope Sharky's stays as it is. If you have a dog this place is a must, not only is it a lovely beach in it's own right but there are plenty of puppies running around just having a good time.

Can you believe I have lived in Sydney for probably 3-4 years all up and never been to the Pyrmont fish markets until this weekend! Just a quick look to check the place out and take a few snaps, but we'll be back, definitely for lunch!
